Which of the following property is commonly exhibited by a covalent compound?

  1. High solubility in water

  2. Low melting point

  3. High electrical conductance

  4. High boiling point


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Covalent compounds are very resistant, they do not conduct heat and electricity, mostly insulators. They have low boiling points as they are gases at room temperature. It is very hard to molten the covalent compounds because of high bond energy. Therefore the covalent compound turns liquid from solid state easily. They show low melting points and are non polar hence insoluble in water.

"Hybridisation of central atom does not always change due to back bonding". This statement is valid for which of the following compounds ? 
(i) $CCl^- _3$                      (ii) $CCl _2$
(iii) $(SiH _3) _2 O$              (iv) $N(SiH _3) _3$

  1. (i), (ii)

  2. (i), (iii)

  3. (ii), (iii)

  4. All


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

When there is back bonding from central to side atom change in hybridization takes place. Back bonding takes place when one atom has vacant orbital and one has lone pairs. 
So central atom has a lone pair and side atom must have vacant orbital 
So : $CCl^- _3$
$N (SiH _3) _3$
$Sp^3 - Sp^2$

Which of the following compound has coordinate (dative) bond :

  1. $CH _3NC$

  2. $CH _3OH$

  3. $CH _3Cl$

  4. $NH _3$


Correct Option: D

Dative bond is present in ____________.

  1. Carbon monoxide

  2. Carbon dioxide

  3. Nitric oxide

  4. Dichlorine monoxide


Correct Option: A,C
Explanation:

Carbon monoxide and nitric oxide contains dative bond or coordinate covalent bond whereas carbon dioxide and dichlorine monoxide contains covalent bonds.

Which of the following molecules does not have co-ordinate bonds?

  1. $PH _{4}^{+}$

  2. $NO _2$

  3. $O _3$

  4. $CO _{3}^{2-}$


Correct Option: D

In the cyanide, the negative charge is on :

  1. $C$

  2. $N$

  3. both $C$ and $N$

  4. resonate between $C$ and $N$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Hetrolytic bond dissociation of $HCN$:
$H-CN\rightarrow H^++ ^-C\equiv N$.
So here, negative charge is on $C$.

Which of the following does not have coordinate bond? 

  1. $S{O _2}$

  2. $HN{O _3}$

  3. ${H _2}S{O _3}$`

  4. $HN{O _2}$


Correct Option: B

Co-ordinate covalent bond is formed by:

  1. transfer of electrons

  2. sharing of electrons

  3. donation of electrons

  4. none of these process


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Both the electrons of a coordinate bond are donated by one atom, and then shared by both the atoms of the bond.

In potassium ferrocyanide, the nature of bond between iron and cyanide ions is :

  1. ionic bond

  2. covalent bond

  3. dative bond

  4. polar bond


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In potassium ferrocyanide, iron atom has vacant orbitals and cyanide ions have unpaired electrons. Hence, in potassium ferrocyanide, the bond between iron and cyanide ions is dative bond.

Phosphorus forms a compound with hydrogen called phosphine, $PH _{3}$. This compound can react
with a hydrogen ion, $H^{+}$.
Which type of interaction occurs between $PH _{3}$ and $H^{+}$?

  1. Dative covalent bond

  2. Dipole- dipole forces

  3. Hydrogen bond

  4. Ionic bond


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The bond formed between $P{H} _{3}$ and ${H}^{+}$ is dative covalent bond in which the bonding electrons are coming from phosphine.
